Here is another one of my go to side dishes which works brilliantly with so many things. Fab for a gorgeous BBQ salad aa it can easily me made in advance. I also love it in its own topped with a bit of feta , burrata, or goats cheese. It’s a really useful one to have in the fridge for a quick and easy side, but it also makes the best packed lunch to go.
